For this plot, Liu Xu originally added an extra plot from his own creation. When Xia Houying was supervising the execution of Han Xin, Han Xin made an impassioned speech and told Xia Houying how Pei Gong should leave Hanzhong in the future. And how to unite the princes to resist Xiang Yu's remarks, so as to become a blockbuster, gain Xia Houying's approval, and save others.
Liu Xu felt that this was a reasonable plot, otherwise how could Xia Houying let Han Xin go just because he said "kill the warrior"?
But after writing this paragraph, Liu Xu always felt a little strange, because it actually didn't fit Han Xin's character and personality.
So Liu Xu deleted this plot he wrote, and then repeatedly recalled the records about Han Xin in the history books, but he couldn't find many valuable clues.
It wasn't until Liu Xu changed his mind and started thinking about Xia Houying's relevant records that he finally figured out some historical clues.
Then Liu Xu found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. He had always thought that Han Xin must have done something at this time to make Xia Houying think that Han Xin was a valuable talent, so he did not kill Han Xin.
But this was actually a mistake, because Han Xin was too dazzling, so Liu Xu naturally focused on Han Xin.
But in fact, it was Xia Houying who held the knife in his hand at that time, and he was the one who decided whether to kill Han Xin. If you want to study why Han Xin was able to escape death at that time, you should focus on studying Xia Houying.
Once you study Xia Houying carefully, you will find that this person is actually very interesting.
In the historical memory of most Chinese people, Xia Houying is a very unfamiliar name, and most people have no memory of this name at all.
The few who know something about it probably only know that Xia Houying is Liu Bang's coachman, who is responsible for driving Liu Bang.
If you know more about it, you will know that Xia Houying is the savior of Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan. When Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu and escaped in a car in panic, he disliked these two children for affecting his speed, and ended up several times. For the first time, he kicked the two children out of the car and asked Xia Houying to pull him and run quickly.
But Xia Houying was very determined to stop the car every time and put the two children back on the car before starting again. In this way, the lives of the two people were saved. Otherwise, once they were overtaken by Chu's pursuers, God knows what the outcome will be.
And this is the Xia Houying that 99% of Chinese people know, a generous and honest person, not very smart.
But in fact, Xia Houying is far from that simple.
First of all, although Xia Houying is a member of Liu Bang's Peixian Tiantuan, Xia Houying is different from several other members. He did not grow up with Liu Bang since he was a child, but later joined Liu Bang's small group. In terms of time, it is even later than Xiao He and Cao Shen.
But once Xia Houying came into contact with Liu Bang, they became extremely close to Liu Bang. Even if Liu Bang didn't respect Xia Houying very much and even accidentally injured Xia Houying because of a joke, Xia Houying laughed it off.
But this matter was later exploited by someone who was interested, and he was sued to the county government, saying that Liu Bang was abusing lynchings and fighting at the same time. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, this was a crime that would lead to him being sent to the army.
However, Xia Houying has always firmly stated that the wound was not caused by Liu Bang, but that he accidentally fell while walking. In the end, Xia Houying was even imprisoned for this and stayed in prison for about a year before he was released. During this process But he never let go, and finally won Liu Bang's trust.
But what many people don't know is that Xia Houying is actually an extremely ferocious general.
Many people mention the powerful generals under Liu Bang, and the first one that comes to mind must be Fan Kuai, and the next one should be Guan Ying. I am afraid no one will think that Xia Hou Yinghui, who works as a full-time driver for the exiles, is a powerful general.
But as long as you carefully study Xia Houying's achievements in history books, you will find that in the early days of Liu Bang's rise, Liu Bang always used Xia Houying as his fierce future.
Every time there was a big battle, the first one to rush forward was not Fan Kuai, but Xia Houying.
What's even more amazing is that while others charged on horseback, Xia Houying drove his chariot to kill, and he charged with great ferocity. He was able to drive a chariot towards the troops lined up, and then with his superb driving skills, he could forcefully rush out of a gap in the army, and control the chariot to directly hit and kill many people along the way.
Even after dismounting, he was still able to kill everyone, so that the first person Liu Bang awarded a reward was actually Xia Houying, and Fan Kuai was behind Xia Houying.
After Liu Bang began to march into Guanzhong, Liu Bang asked Xiahou Ying to collect a large number of chariots, and finally formed a chariot army, which was already quite retro in the Chu-Han period, and then handed this army over to Xiahou Infant command.
This army was extremely powerful in field battles. When Liu Bang fought, he often let Xia Houying lead the chariot army to the front, followed by the infantry led by Fan Kuai, and Guan Ying's own cavalry flanked him from both sides. The first person to come into contact with the enemy and then tear open his mouth was Xia Houying.
Therefore, Xia Houying's record during the entire period of his march into Guanzhong was quite strong, and his military strength was comparable to that of Fan Kuai.
Xia Houying truly became Liu Bang's full-time driver when Liu Bang captured Guanzhong and then fought head-on with Xiang Yu.
The core purpose of why Liu Bang asked a fierce man like Xia Houying to be his full-time driver was to let Xia Houying protect him.
After all, Liu Bang was the one who had to kick his two children out of the chariot in order to make the chariot go faster. Therefore, Liu Bang was often the only one in the car, and Xia Houying, who was responsible for driving.
Therefore, in many cases, Xia Houying's more important role besides being a driver was actually Liu Bang's bodyguard, responsible for protecting Liu Bang's life.
Think about it, everyone, if you choose a personal bodyguard, do you have to choose someone who is the most loyal to you and has extremely high force value to be your bodyguard?
Just like Cao Cao asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu to be his bodyguards, Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai to be his bodyguards, and Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's bodyguard for a long time, so Xia Houying is actually the same figure as Zhao Yun.
And this fully reflects Xia Houying's military power. What about Xia Houying's wisdom?
Many people may think that Xia Houying is a simple-minded guy, but a man who was able to survive the period when Empress Lu was in power and was always regarded as one of his own by Empress Lu could wait until Empress Lu died and be the first to join the group that killed Lu. , and even personally entered the palace, took out the emperor and several princes and kings at that time, and killed them all. Would this be a person without wisdom?
